<p>I don't see anything about legacy making one bit of difference on the Undergraduate Admissions website...am I missing something?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>You are not missing anything at all. This year, at least, it totally did not make a difference AT ALL. The legacy with our family is both parents and a sister currently attending (not true legacy with her). My son was denied from UP. I actually visited admissions during one of my recent visits to my daughter. The person with whom I met told me it would not have helped my son get in.</p>
<p>Legacy only matters if you're family contributes money ;). (A good enough amount)</p>
<p>this is true ! the money we have contributed didn't make the cut :-).</p>
<p>Thanks PSUalum. Can I ask what your son's stats were? (We are out of state as well, so it would be harder.)</p>
<p>sure : 4.23 W 3.52 UW 660M 540 R 590 W </p>
<p>he opted for summer session.</p>
